Lin Wenwen and Long Qingying were hiding in a house nearby. Soon, they saw three men running over in a flurry. They were all commoners, holding guns. While hiding from the surrounding zombies, they were also paying attention to whatever was behind them.
Before Long Qingying reminded her, Lin Wenwen had already raised her rifle and aimed at one of the three men.
She took a deep breath, but deep down, she was a little nervous. She told herself that those people were from Hidden Cloud City Base and were her enemies. If they didn’t help Earth Dragon Base, many Hades Base people would still be alive, and she and her family wouldn’t need to have run away from their home. If it weren’t for those people, her big sister wouldn’t have detonated her energy nucleus and become another person. Even her big brother got injured and nearly died!
With those thoughts, a hatred rose from Lin Wenwen’s heart. Her eyes, which were fixed on the three men, showed a faint killing intention. She watched them come closer and closer to her.

Fire!
Long Qingying’s voice was suddenly heard. She knew that Lin Wenwen was ready.


Bang! Lin Wenwen pulled the trigger and shot the bullet.
The two of them had the grass balls that Lin Qiao made. Therefore, they were hiding there safely, and the surrounding zombies didn’t dare to approach them. Unlike them, the three men who managed to run out of the factory needed to pay attention to the zombies nearby while worrying if Lin Qiao would come after them.
None of them noticed the killing intent of Lin Wenwen. As the gunshot was heard, one of the three fell to the ground.

Go on, don’t stop,
Long Qingying stood behind Lin Wenwen and said rigorously.
Lin Wenwen pointed her gun at the other two.
As their friend got shot and fell, the rest two men panicked. One of them quickly ran to the injured man and dragged him toward a house nearby while shooting the surrounding zombies. The other man turned and ran, leaving his friend and the injured man, who was probably dead already.
Under that kind of circumstances, the injured man was clearly a burden. He did not want to die!
As he made a few steps forward, a bullet hit him on the leg. He fell on the ground, and a zombie suddenly darted over and pounced on him.

Ah…
His screams could be heard from a long distance away.
The other man who was trying to hide with his injured friend was attacked by a level-two zombie which leaped down from a roof nearby. He didn’t manage to take care of his friend while staying vigilant against the surrounding zombies.


Their screams lasted for a while. As their voices faded, Long Qingying and Lin Wenwen walked out of the house.
Lin Wenwen pressed her lips tightly together. Yet, her eyes were bright, wearing a composed look. Her face wasn’t even pale.

Good shot,
Lin Qiao suddenly showed up beside them.
Just now, Lin Wenwen failed to kill her target immediately. However, in a place where zombies could be seen everywhere, any commoner would soon die once they were injured.
They might be able to find places to hide temporarily. However, the scent of their blood would attract zombies. A big group of zombies would surround their hiding spot. So, in the end, they would either run out and end up being eaten by zombies, or die of starvation or injury.
Before, Lin Wenwen had only shot fixed targets. It was impressive that she managed to hit moving targets with two shots in a row.

They deserved death!
Lin Wenwen said through clenched teeth.

Hm, I will bury them with the Hades Base,
Lin Qiao nodded and said blandly.
Her base was destroyed. How could she let the people who destroyed her base stay alive and healthy?

Let’s go!
She turned and left with the two girls.



How do you feel?
Long Qingying walked by Lin Wenwen’s side and asked the latter.

I’m fine,
Lin Wenwen shook her head. It was the first time she had killed people. However, she didn’t have a strong feeling about it. Perhaps, she had seen too many dead people since Hades Base was broken.
She still remembered the war, the superpowers, the blood, the broken limbs, the dead bodies, the ruins, and the destruction of her family that Long Yubai brought to her half a year ago.
What happened just now was nothing but killing a few people. Lin Wenwen easily accepted that.

Good!
Long Qingying nodded.
The three of them soon returned to the motorcade.
Keep moving,
Lin Qiao gave her order.
…
In Sea City Base, Wu Chengyue was sitting behind her desk, reading files. It was already February, and the New Year was near. After the apocalypse, people only cared about how to survive, but forgot about almost all festivals. However, New Year remained a thing.
Every New Year, the leaders of each base would take out double amount of food and clothes from the storage of their bases. Nothing else was as important as keeping people away from hunger and coldness.
The managers of every district in the base would re-do the calculation and distribute the supplies to the people according to their positions and their contributions to the base.


At that moment, Wu Chengyue was watching Xiao Yunlong list the supplies which would be distributed in each district. If the list was fine, he would stamp it and then go to Zou Shihui for the supplies.

Chief, Miss Lu and her people left her base again,
Xiao Licheng came in and said. He had already broken into level-six, still looking calm.
Wu Chengyue raised his head and asked,
Where is she going this time? Why has she left the base now? Isn’t New Year coming?
With a frown, he continued,
When will she return?


According to the message we got from All Beings Base, she’s going for Hidden Cloud City Base. She’s only with a small troop. I don’t think she’ll return anytime soon,
Xiao Licheng looked at him and said.

She just sent away the zombie emperor, and now she’s going to attack Hidden Cloud City? Although Lu Zhuofeng is dead, Hidden Cloud City still has hundreds of thousands of people, including tens of thousands of superpowered ones. How many people are with her?
Wu Chengyue thought briefly and then asked.

Well… If you’re talking about people, that’ll be less than a hundred. As for zombies… I don’t know,
Xiao Licheng replied while looking at the piece of paper in his hand.
Both he and Wu Chengyue knew that Lin Qiao had countless zombies hiding in her space.

Keep an eye on her then. Also, keep an eye on Hidden Cloud Base.
Wu Chengyue felt that it wasn’t a good time for the female zombie to go for Hidden Cloud City, but he didn’t say anything about it.
Both him and Xiao Licheng were aware that Hidden Cloud City people wouldn’t have a great time at New Year. They might not have a chance to celebrate New Year at all.

Don’t we… need to help?
Xiao Licheng looked at him as he hesitated for a moment and then asked.



Do you think she’ll need help?
Wu Chengyue glanced at him and responded.

But… she’s going against an entire base, and she didn’t even bring any weapons…
Xiao Licheng said uncertainly.

Weapons? Have you forgotten about her greatest weapon?
Wu Chengyue smilingly lowered his head to continue reading the files. He had known the female zombie for quite long, and was never worried about her power. Even he had suffered losses under her power. Would any of her targets possibly survive her?
